I was always crappy at math in school, but even I am smart enough to understand this…

When it comes to oil, we use 20 million bbl. per day

If we increase offshore drilling, we will get 200,000 bbl. per day by the year 2030

In 20 years (2 decades!) we will have increased our oil supply by 1%

Wow. 1 freakin’ percent just to put more holes in this earth.

—–

If we follow Obama’s advice to keep our tires properly inflated, we will improve mileage by 3% INSTANTLY

If we have regular tune-ups and maintenance, we improve mileage by another 1%

That’s a 4% improvement and it can be done in one day!

Republicans can joke and mock Obama all they want. But he uses common sense and mathematically, he is correct.

We don’t need more oil, we need solutions that use less oil.

Amen, sista!

Why can’t the Republicans understand this? Now there’s a million-dollar question.

Fuzzy math? Not very pretty, is it?
